{c:Intro:}
      [Dm] [Dm] [A] [A] [Dm] [Dm] [A] [A]

The [Dm]taxman’s taken [C]all my dough
And [F]left me in my [C]stately home
[A]Lazin’ on a sunny after[Dm]noon
And I can’t [C]sail my yacht
He’s [F]taken every[C]thing I’ve got
[A]All I’ve got’s this sunny after[Dm]noon


[D7]Save me, save me, save me from this [G7]squeeze
I got a [C7]big fat mama tryin’ to break [F]me [A7]
And I [Dm]love to live so [G7]pleasantly
[Dm]Live this life of [G7]luxur[C7]y
[F]Lazin’ on a [A7]sunny after[Dm]noon
In the [A]summertime


My [Dm]girlfriend’s run off [C]with my car
And [F]gone back to her [C]ma and pa
[A]Tellin’ tales of drunkenness and [Dm]cruelty
Now I’m [C]sittin’ here
[F]Sippin’ at my [C]ice-cold beer
[A]All I’ve got’s this sunny after[Dm]noon


[D7]Help me, help me, help me sail a[G7]way
Or give me [C7]two good reasons why I oughta [F]stay [A7]
Cos I [Dm]love to live so [G7]pleasantly
[Dm]Live this life of [G7]luxur[C7]y
[F]Lazin’ on a [A7]sunny after[Dm]noon


In the [A]summertime
In the [Dm]summertime
In the [A]summertime
In the [Dm]summertime
In the [A]summertime [Dm]
